Introduction 2<br />

The Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> Service 2.1<br />

Overview 2.1.1<br />

The Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> service is b<strong>as</strong>ed on 4 Geostationary 3rd generation<br />

satellites situated above the equator, but can also operate on the new 4th<br />

generation satellites. Geostationary means that the satellites are always<br />

located in the same position, i.e. they rotate at the same speed <strong>as</strong> that of the<br />

earth. Each satellite covers a certain area (footprint) and supports a number of<br />

powerful spot-beams making the service available in virtually all ocean<br />

regions on the earth between approximately 70°N and 70°S.<br />

The 4 Geostationary Inmarsat Satellites<br />

The satellites are your connection to the worldwide networks, and they are<br />

managed by the Network Coordination Stations (NCSs), run by Inmarsat. The<br />

primary functions of the NCSs are to constantly keep track of which terminals<br />

are logged on to the system, and <strong>as</strong>sign a free channel whenever a call is<br />

made.<br />

The gateway between the public network and the satellites is operated by<br />

Land Earth Stations (LES). The LESs are run by different operators around the<br />

world.<br />

Services 2.1.2<br />

The Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> service supports the following services:<br />

• High speed services<br />

• 2 x 64 / 2 x 56 kbit/s data 1<br />

• 64 kbit/s data<br />

• 56 kbit/s data<br />

• Speech<br />

• 3.1 kHz audio<br />

• MPDS<br />

• Low speed services<br />

• Mini-M voice<br />

• 9.6 kbit fax<br />

For a detailed description of each service see the l<strong>as</strong>t section of this chapter.<br />

1. 128 kbit/s is only available on new F<strong>77</strong> systems<br />

4 The Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> Service


2222<br />

Chapter 2: Introduction<br />

The available services allow for a wide range of applications. Examples are<br />

shown below.<br />

Important Before a terminal can be used on the network, it h<strong>as</strong> to be<br />

commissioned by one of the Inmarsat Service Providers (ISPs).<br />

In order to use the different Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> services it is<br />

necessary to have at le<strong>as</strong>t one Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN)<br />

for each of the above mentioned services. In c<strong>as</strong>e all 8 services<br />

are commissioned on your terminal, you will have 8 IMN<br />

numbers.<br />

Calling an Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> terminal corresponds to making international calls.<br />

If the satellite region/area is not known for the terminal the “country” code for<br />

a terminal is 870. When you dial up to an Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> terminal through the<br />

public network, you have to dial the IMN number in addition to the<br />

international access code for Inmarsat, e.g.:<br />

+870 600 <strong>55</strong>5 <strong>55</strong>5<br />

Making calls from an Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> terminal corresponds to making<br />

international calls, meaning you must always dial the country code.<br />

The Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> Service 5<br />

Introduction


Chapter 2: Introduction<br />

Service explanation 2.1.3<br />

The low speed services have a lower tariff than the high speed services,<br />

because the high speed services are high quality audio or high speed data<br />

services that require more bandwidth.<br />

• The 128 kbit/s UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information) service enables 2 x 64<br />

kbit/s or 2 x 56 kbit/s bidirectional transmission of data to and from<br />

terrestrial ISDN networks<br />

• The 64 kbit/s UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information) service enables the<br />

bidirectional transmission of data to and from terrestrial 64 kbit/s ISDN<br />

networks. The 56 kbit/s UDI service is similarly used to make a connection<br />

to 56 kbit/s ISDN networks, which are primarily used in North America.<br />

• The Speech and 3.1 kHz audio services make it possible to establish high<br />

quality analogue connections of a quality equal to terrestrial analogue<br />

connections via digital networks/switches. The Speech service is used for<br />

high quality voice connections, where<strong>as</strong> 3.1 kHz audio can be used to<br />

transfer analogue signals between fax machines and modems with an<br />

analogue 2-wire interface. The 3.1 kHz audio service is transparent, and is<br />

suitable for all analogue applications including secure telephones.<br />

• The MPDS service is a packet data service where the tariff depends on the<br />

amount of data sent and received. This service is a more cost-effective<br />

solution for web browsing, and other applications where there is no need<br />

for constant transmission of data in both directions. It is also suitable for<br />

applications where a constant connection is required, because the user is<br />

no longer charged the “per minute rate”.<br />

• The Mini-M voice service is only for voice transmission. The voice<br />

transmitted over the satellite is subject to a compression process that<br />

reduces the bandwidth to 4.8 kbit/s and consequently reduces the cost.<br />

• The 9.6 kbit Fax allows you to send and receive fax messages using a<br />

standard office fax machine. This service replaces the previous Mini-M fax<br />

service. Using this service is usually more cost effective compared to the<br />

3.1 kHz audio service.<br />

Chapter 2: Introduction<br />

ISDN interface 2.4.4<br />

This interface can be used for connection of ISDN equipment – data <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong><br />

voice/picture b<strong>as</strong>ed equipment (phones, modems, terminal adapters, audio<br />

codecs, video conferencing equipment, STE secure voice, etc.).<br />

On F<strong>55</strong> only one B-channel (1 x 64 kbit/s Data) and one D-channel (control) is<br />

used.<br />

The F<strong>77</strong> optionally supports two B-channels (2 x 64 kbit/s Data). In order to<br />

enable this service you need to enter a special PIN code. Ple<strong>as</strong>e contact your<br />

supplier to retrieve a pin code. As with other services the terminal needs to be<br />

commissioned to this service (see the section The Inmarsat <strong>Fleet</strong> Service on<br />

page 3).<br />

The terminal does not support dynamic switching between one and two Bchannels.<br />

The user needs to decide to use one or two channels before<br />

establishing the call.<br />

When using only one B-channel, ple<strong>as</strong>e ensure that your ISDN equipment is<br />

configured to support one B-channel only.<br />

The following services may be used on the ISDN interface:<br />

• 128 kbit/s UDI (option on F<strong>77</strong>)<br />

• 64 kbit/s UDI<br />

• 56 kbit/s UDI<br />

• Speech<br />

• 3.1 kHz audio<br />

ISDN<br />

• Mini-M voice<br />

Like the terrestrial ISDN network the terminal offers the possibility to have<br />

more than one device connected to this interface. Each device can be<br />

Chapter 2: Introduction<br />

individually addressed when called, and the service type can be selected<br />

individually. This requires that the attached equipment supports MSN<br />

(Multiple Subscriber Number). Depending on the brand of equipment it may<br />

be possible to program the equipment with more MSNs. If a device should<br />

respond to a certain IMN number, it must be programmed in the ISDN<br />

equipment using the IMN <strong>as</strong> MSN. Note that the equipment will only react if<br />

both MSN and service type (speech, 3.1 kHz audio, 128 kbit/s, 64 kbit/s or 56<br />

kbit/s) fit the ISDN equipment.<br />

Note When the 128 kbit/s service is not used, the ISDN interface supports<br />

data transmission of one B-channel at 64 or 56 kbit/s <strong>as</strong> opposed to<br />

two B-channels at 64 or 56 kbit/s available on the terrestrial ISDN<br />

network.<br />

When using satellite equipment a delay is introduced due to the satellite link.<br />

Not all standard ISDN devices are equally good at coping with this.<br />

RS-232 interface 2.4.5<br />

The RS-232 interface is a standard 9-pin serial ports, with a maximum port<br />

speed of 115.2 kbit/s. The interface supports the following service types:<br />

• MPDS service<br />

• Configuration of the terminal via <strong>Fleet</strong>CP software (See the section System<br />

set-up using <strong>Fleet</strong>CP on page 95)<br />

• Connection of an IP Router<br />

• 64 kbit/s UDI using RS-232<br />

RS-232<br />

When using the <strong>Fleet</strong>CP program, the PC must be connected to the RS-232<br />

interface.<br />

Each input or output pin can be configured <strong>as</strong> either active high or low.<br />

TxOff (Transmit Off):<br />

When this function is active the terminal will stop all transmission from the<br />

antenna by terminating the call <strong>as</strong> it is normally done. Distress alarms from<br />

ship or from land will be allowed.<br />

RS (Radio Silence):<br />

This function h<strong>as</strong> higher priority than the Transmit-Off function. If this function<br />

is active any transmission from the antenna will be blocked. Even distress calls<br />

in both directions will be prohibited.<br />

ExtRing (External Ringer):<br />

Use of PIN codes. 3.2<br />

Overview 3.2.1<br />

Access to some of the functions is restricted by a PIN code. Two different kinds<br />

of User PIN codes are used in the system: One PIN for the Super User and one<br />

for the Service User.<br />

Common for both PIN types is that the length must be between 4 and 8 digits<br />

and that they contain digits between 0 and 9.<br />

The normal everyday user (Normal User) can make and receive calls, access<br />

the phone book, choose an ocean region and a default LES, read the alarm log<br />

and status and make a call from the Helpdesk. For a description of these<br />

functions see Menu System on page 49. All other setup changes have to be<br />

carried out by a Super User or a Service User.<br />

Use of PIN codes. 39<br />

Chapter 3: Getting started<br />

Super User PIN 3.2.2<br />

The Super User h<strong>as</strong> the same rights <strong>as</strong> the Normal User. In addition the Super<br />

User can access the Super User menu. See Super User functions on page 64<br />

for details.<br />

A Super User will typically be a person responsible for setting up and<br />

maintaining the system. It is only possible to have one Super User PIN code.<br />

If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PIN is blocked. A blocked Super<br />

User PIN can only be unblocked by a PUK code or the Service User. The factory<br />

PIN code is ‘12345678’.<br />

Service User PIN 3.2.3<br />

The Service User h<strong>as</strong> access to all <strong>Fleet</strong> system functionality that is accessible<br />

through the handset.<br />

Only T&T and/or the supplier of the equipment normally know this PIN.<br />

If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PIN is blocked. Only a PUK code<br />

can unblock a blocked Service User PIN.<br />

For use of the service menu, ple<strong>as</strong>e refer to the “<strong>TT</strong>-<strong>3084A</strong> <strong>SAILOR</strong> <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong>, <strong>TT</strong>-<br />

<strong>3086A</strong> <strong>SAILOR</strong> <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>55</strong>, Installation Manual”.<br />

Chapter 3: Getting started<br />

Normal calls 3.3<br />

Call from handset 3.3.1<br />

Any call made from the system uses a service type (Mini-M voice, Speech or<br />

3.1 kHz audio).<br />

The service type used for a call from the handset is the service type configured<br />

<strong>as</strong> default for this handset and the LES operator used will be the default LES<br />

operator.<br />

When making calls from the handset, just type in the phone number <strong>as</strong> if you<br />

were making an international call (with prefix for automatic international calls<br />

equal to 00).<br />

For example, to dial the number of Thrane & Thrane (+45 39<strong>55</strong>8800), press<br />

the number:<br />

00 for international calls, 45 for country code then 39<strong>55</strong>8800, followed<br />

by or #<br />

. The display on the terminal handset will show how the call<br />

proceeds.<br />

Hang up by pressing . During and after a call, the display will show how<br />

long the call l<strong>as</strong>ted.<br />

The Phone Book can also be used to initiate a call, either by selecting an entry<br />

in the phone book or by using the short code. See Call using phone book on<br />

page 60 for details.<br />

Calling the terminal 3.3.2<br />

Calling the terminal or a device connected to the terminal is similar to making<br />

international calls. The specific IMN-number1 h<strong>as</strong> to be preceded by the<br />

international access code, which is 870.<br />

To call the IMN-number on a terminal situated in any of the ocean regions,<br />

dial 00870 followed by the IMN number.<br />

Distress call 3.4<br />

Introduction 3.4.1<br />

Note The distress functionality is available on <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> systems only.<br />

A distress call is an automated way of calling for help (SOS). A distress call<br />

from the <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> system is a voice call, which means that the call will be<br />

connected to an operator at the RCC (Rescue Coordination Center). When the<br />

distress call is connected, the ship’s position and the MES ID are sent to the<br />

RCC. This enables the center to identify and locate the ship.<br />

To make a Distress call. 3.4.2<br />

To initiate a Distress call, do <strong>as</strong> follows:<br />

1. Press and hold the Distress button on the cradle.<br />

The button will fl<strong>as</strong>h with intervals of 1 second and the cradle buzzer will<br />

beep with the same interval. After 5 seconds, the button light becomes<br />

constant and the buzzer stops beeping. Any ongoing call is preempted,<br />

unless it is a Distress call. During the preemption the handset display<br />

shows the message ‘DISTRESS Wait’.<br />

If the distress button is rele<strong>as</strong>ed within the 5 seconds, the distress call is<br />

canceled and the terminal returns to its normal state.<br />

2. Rele<strong>as</strong>e the Distress button when the light in the button becomes constant.<br />

After the preemption, if any, the handset shows the message ‘Select LES’.<br />

Scroll through the LES list with the and keys and select the LES<br />

by pressing OK .<br />

If you do not select a LES nor press #<br />

or within 15 seconds, the<br />

call will be initiated through the LES pre-configured in the Distress LES. If<br />

no Distress LES is configured, the Default LES will be used instead. If no<br />

Default LES is configured, the NCS redirects the call to an appropriate LES.<br />

Distress call 43<br />

Getting started


Chapter 3: Getting started<br />

Note If a Distress LES is not defined for each Ocean Region, an alarm<br />

will appear and the entry ‘Distress LES is not selected in all<br />

Ocean Regions’ will be added to the alarm log.<br />

To cancel the Distress mode, press and hold the Distress Stop button, after<br />

the button light becomes constant, but before the 15 seconds timer runs<br />

out. The display will then show Distress Aborted.<br />

If the Distress call is continued, the handset will display DISTRESS -<br />

Calling. The call will be connected to the RCC, the handset will display<br />

DISTRESS - Connected and the cradle LED ‘Priority call’ will light<br />

up. You can now make the Distress call<br />

3. Use the handset to talk to the RCC operator.<br />

The ‘Distress’ button light will stay on until the call is aborted.<br />

Distress call failure. 3.4.3<br />

If the Distress call fails to connect due to a system malfunction (BDU, ADU,<br />

satellite or terrestrial), the light in the cradle ‘Distress’ button will turn off and<br />

the system will return to a normal state.<br />

Distress and Priority call to the ship 3.4.4<br />

The RCC operator can generate a distress alert priority call to the ship. The<br />

‘Priority Call’ LED will start fl<strong>as</strong>hing on all cradles, and if the call h<strong>as</strong> distress<br />

priority the buzzer will beep with 1 second intervals. Any calls with lower<br />

priority, including MPDS sessions, are preempted and a busy tone is heard.<br />

Answer the distress and priority call by picking up a handset or by pressing<br />

after which the ‘Priority Call’ LED will light steadily and the buzzer stops<br />

beeping.<br />

The ‘Priority Call’ LED is turned off when the call is terminated.<br />

If the call is not answered by the ship, but terminated by the RCC, the Alarm<br />

LED turns on to indicate that there w<strong>as</strong> an unanswered distress alert or priority<br />

call. Details about the alarm can be checked in the alarm log.<br />

MPDS connection 3.5<br />

Introduction 3.5.1<br />

Note The MPDS service is only available on <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>55</strong> systems when the<br />

vessel is positioned inside an area with Spot Beam coverage. On<br />

<strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> systems the service is also available in global beam.<br />

Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) is a service that allows the mobile user to<br />

remain “always connected” to the Internet with billing b<strong>as</strong>ed on the amount of<br />

data transferred rather than the time spent online. This makes the service an<br />

ideal and cost effective solution for applications like Web browsing, e-mail<br />

services, IP/LAN connectivity and small to medium size file transfer. The MPDS<br />

service provides a 64 kbit/s shared channel.<br />

While in MPDS mode the <strong>TT</strong>-<strong>3084A</strong> is flagged busy in the Inmarsat network.<br />

This means that the <strong>Fleet</strong> system is not able to receive any incoming calls until<br />

it returns to normal idle mode. However, the user can enable the Call Waiting<br />

Notification feature. This allows the system to receive voice calls during an<br />

ongoing MPDS call. For further information about this feature, see Call waiting<br />

on page 45.<br />

The sections Setting up MPDS over RS-232 on page 105 and Setup using<br />

Ethernet/PPPoE on page 129 contain descriptions of how to setup an MPDS<br />

connection using your PC.<br />

Call waiting 3.5.2<br />

As indicated in the previous section the user can enable the Call Waiting<br />

Notification in order to receive incoming voice calls during an MPDS session.<br />

The enabling can optionally be restricted to specific phone numbers.<br />

The 4-wire and 2-wire interfaces can be configured for usage for the Call<br />

Waiting Notification. When the notification arrives, the user is notified by a<br />

special ringing tone and a message is shown in the display if the 4-wire<br />

handset is selected for the service.<br />

In c<strong>as</strong>e of an incoming call during an MPDS session with the Call Waiting<br />

Notification enabled, the user h<strong>as</strong> three options:<br />

MPDS connection 45<br />

Getting started


Chapter 3: Getting started<br />

• The user can reject the preemption of the MPDS connection by pressing<br />

* or Exit on the 4-wire handset (if enabled) or by taking an enabled<br />

2-wire phone off hook, pressing * and placing the phone on hook<br />

again. The ringing stops on all handsets that are configured for the<br />

service.<br />

• The user can accept the preemption of the MPDS connection by pressing<br />

OK or # on the 4-wire handset (if enabled) or by taking an enabled<br />

2-wire phone off hook, pressing # and placing the phone on hook<br />

again.<br />

The MPDS session is now deregistered and the call gets through after a<br />

short while. The phone to which the call is routed starts ringing and the<br />

call can be answered. Note that the call can be answered on another<br />

interface than the interface that w<strong>as</strong> used to accept the call – e.g. a fax will<br />

normally only be routed to a specific RJ11 connector and not the 4-wire<br />

handset.<br />

• The user may also choose to do nothing. After a certain time the<br />

notification stops and the preemption of the MPDS connection is implicitly<br />

rejected, if no other lines have accepted the notification.<br />

Configuration of the Call Waiting notification is described in Call Waiting<br />

Notification on page 89.<br />

ISDN Connection 3.6<br />

Introduction 3.6.1<br />

Note The ISDN service is only available on <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>55</strong> systems when the<br />

vessel is positioned inside an area with Spot Beam coverage. On<br />

<strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> systems the services are also available in global beam.<br />

Though 128K can not be guaranteed by INMARSAT.<br />

The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) enables a bidirectional<br />

transmission of data to and from terrestrial ISDN networks.<br />

The mobile ISDN service is charged by connection time. That makes the service<br />

fe<strong>as</strong>ible for transmissions that require a large data throughput.<br />

The section Setting up ISDN on page 112 contains a description of how to setup<br />

an ISDN data connection on your PC.<br />

Supported services 3.6.2<br />

The <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>55</strong> and the generic <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> support a single B-channel (1 x 64 kbit/s<br />

Data) and one D-channel (control).<br />

The <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> optionally supports two B-channels (2 x 64 kbit/s Data). In order to<br />

enable this service a pin code is needed. This pin code can be retrieved from<br />

your distributor. As with other services the terminal needs to be commissioned<br />

to the 128 kbit/s service.<br />

The terminal does not support dynamic switching between one and two Bchannels.<br />

The user needs to decide whether to use one or two channels before<br />

establishing the call. The <strong>Fleet</strong><strong>77</strong> 128 kbit/s service does not support mixed<br />

fixed and mobile originated calls, mixed UDI and voice calls nor the ability to<br />

close down one of the B channels dynamically.<br />

For fixed originated calls, the terrestrial user is expected to dial the same INM<br />

number twice for each of the 64kbit/s calls.<br />

Ple<strong>as</strong>e refer to ISDN interface on page 16 for additional information about the<br />

ISDN interface.<br />

Note The IMN-number h<strong>as</strong> to be defined before the service can be routed<br />

to an interface. The service will not be listed in the routing table<br />

unless it h<strong>as</strong> an IMN-number defined. (Note that the External Ringer<br />

is not a service and does not need an IMN number).<br />

Note Some users want the IMN number to reflect the corresponding<br />

telephone number. In this c<strong>as</strong>e the user should EDIT the default IMN<br />

number. The INSERT function is only for adding additional IMN<br />

numbers. (or for creating the first IMN in c<strong>as</strong>e the list is empty).<br />

When entering one of the above submenus it is possible to scroll through a list<br />

of all relevant IMN-numbers for the interface. In the handset menu, you will<br />

see all IMNs <strong>as</strong>sociated with voice: Mini-M voice, Speech, 3.1 kHz audio. The<br />

Changing routing status<br />

If an IMN h<strong>as</strong> an incoming route to an interface it is marked with “*”. If it h<strong>as</strong><br />

an outgoing route to an interface, it is marked with a “#”.<br />

It is possible to change the routing-status for each IMN to the opposite by<br />

pressing * for incoming and #<br />

for outgoing. Note that the External<br />

ringer cannot be changed; it is always an output.<br />

Routing an IMN to more interfaces<br />

It is possible to route one IMN to more interfaces. E.g. an IMN can be routed to<br />

all three RJ11 interfaces at the same time. This will enable an incoming call to<br />

be routed to three 2-wire phones simultaneously.<br />

External Ringer<br />

Calls to Handset #1, Handset #2, RJ11 #1, RJ11 #2 and RJ11 #3 can be routed to<br />

Mount Pos.<br />

Because of the built-in GPS, the antenna is capable of finding the satellite<br />

within a few seconds. However, a heading of the ship is also needed. Because<br />

the GPS does not supply the antenna with this information, you must enter a<br />

relative angle of the antenna compared to the ships bow. Valid angles are<br />

0(REAR), 90(PORT), 180(BOW), and 270(STARBOARD) deg, positive in a<br />

clockwise direction. Default angle is 0 deg. Confirm changes by pressing<br />

Upload FEU<br />

.<br />

If a new FEU (Part of the antenna) is installed, this command will upload<br />

software to the FEU, thereby pairing the software in the BDU and FEU. If the<br />

FEU software version in the antenna is different from the version that is stored<br />

in the BDU, you will get a warning. You may then use the “Upload FEU”<br />

command to remove this difference.<br />

Auto Upload<br />

When Auto Upload is enabled, the terminal will automatically check the<br />

antenna software version at startup, and upload the correct version if<br />

necessary. The default setting is “Enabled”.<br />
